To the celebrate reaching 1 million customers at Japan's Kit Kat Chocolatory, Nestle Japan has decided to offer a special Kit Kat, Inventor Spotreports. These limited-edition chocolate bars will be unique for a few reasons: they'll be individually wrapped—as in, you're just getting one piece of the Kit Kat bar, or "finger"—only 500 will be released ... and they'll be covered in an edible gold wrapper.

Set to release in late December, Nestle Japan believes its golden candy will make a great New Year's gift, and they're being sold for 2,016 yen (about $16.30). The gold leaf itself won't be flavored, and the classic vanilla wafers will be coated in "sublime bitter" chocolate.

Unfortunately, these babies are only going to be available in Japan (which could be a good thing, considering gold leaf isn't actually approved by the FDA...). If you really need some shimmery, edible bling in your life, you could try baking this 24-karat gold carrot cake instead.
